Asia inspired us, particularly the way of living in South-East Asia. “We migrated to Indonesia in 1996. I was so excited by the high level of craftwork of the Balinese silversmiths, that I started designing my own jewelry pieces. Nature’s beauty inspires my work. My designs have changed throughout the years. I started with classic styles, and now I design Western and modern contemporary pieces of art. “My modern designs are mainly pure and simple. Next to silver, gemstones and pearls are the materials I most frequently use. I am happy designing, and I have found a select group of highly qualified Balinese silversmiths that help me craft each piece.”
